Hey,

so we left Tokyo about 3 hours ago. We've

been in the car since then, and I'm in

Nagano Prefecture right now, which is her

prefecture. And she dropped me off at

McDonald's. That's McDonald's behind me.

She told me to wait here for about an

hour. While she goes and drops her

daughter off at some kind of school. It's

called juku in Japanese. I don't really

know how to say it in English. I guess

it's just like classes you go to after

you've finished school. And then she's

going to come back and pick me up, and

we're going to go to the next hotel where

I'm going to check in. And then she wants

me to meet her daughter, which kind of

surprised me. I wasn't expecting to have

to meet her daughter so soon, just after a

few days. But she said, why don't we go

for a meal together? 3 of us. And I was

like, okay, why not? I'm actually kind of

nervous about it. I have absolutely no

experience with children. I don't even

know if she's gonna like me or not. I'm

guessing she's not going to be really

happy with the idea that her mum got a new

boyfriend. And she kind of sounds like

she's a bit moody, a bit grumpy. It sounds

like she's in the rebellious stage of her

life even though she's only 9 years old.

So yeah, I'm a bit nervous about this.

So, I'm at the hotel now and this is

what it looks like. It's very small.

There's a TV and

a bed. That's about it really.

There's a desk as well. And a very tiny

bathroom with a very tiny bath.

That's me. So I finally have some time

alone. My girlfriend went back to her

house with her daughter. It's kind of

late, about 10 PM, so she can't go back to

her house, drop off her daughter, and then

come back here. Actually, I'm not sure if

she's going to come back here. We didn't

actually discuss it. She just dropped me

off and I said, see you later, and then

she went. I guess she might come back in

like an hour or 2. It's a bit strange to

be alone after being together with someone

so intimately for a few days and then

suddenly being alone again. It feels a bit

strange. Anyway, I wanted to talk about

meeting her daughter. I just met her

daughter and I have no idea why I was so

nervous. I think I was expecting this

really grumpy, shy, quiet, awkward kid,

but she was the complete opposite. She was

really energetic and talkative, and I

found it really easy to talk to her

daughter. I feel like, um, she got used to

me pretty quickly. She was laughing a lot.

It's pretty easy to make kids laugh. You

just have to say stupid things, and I'm

pretty good at saying stupid things, so I

was able to make her laugh a lot, which

was nice. It breaks the tension. I also

think it helps that I'm not really a

mature person. Most of you already know

this, but I'm pretty immature, so I feel

like I can bond with kids quite easily.

I've never really had any interest in kids

before. Every time I see other people's

children, I just think to myself, ugh,

just— they're just like this irritating,

noisy thing. But I didn't feel like that

at all. I felt like she was really cute

and really sweet and funny. Which is kind

of strange for me. I don't claim to know

anything about parenting, but after

today's experience, I felt like having

kids does look like fun. Maybe isn't so

bad. I guess it's more stressful if you're

the actual parent instead of just a random

person that isn't really related to them.

I found it kind of strange because my

girlfriend seems kind of stressed out when

she's around her daughter. Her daughter

would say these really adorable and funny

things, and my girlfriend's reaction would

be like kind of irritated or kind of

stressed out and angry, and she'd like be

a bit snappy towards her daughter, the way

she speaks to her daughter. And I feel

like, why are you so stressed out? It's

funny, the stuff she says. I really don't

know why so many people were saying in the

comments not to date a single mum.

Because it's a bad idea. I still don't

understand why it's a bad idea. I had a

lot of fun today talking to her daughter

and doing silly things together. I don't

really have any experience with children,

so I was actually pretty surprised that I

had so much fun interacting with a child

today. It was, it was an interesting

experience. And some of you people in the

comments section are so negative. If I

listened to you lot, I would still just be

in my room working at the petrol station

every day and sitting in my room on my

own. I'm so glad I came here and

experienced this because I've never had

this experience with kids before. I've

never been to this part of Japan before.

Usually I just stay in Tokyo or in large

cities. Every time I come to Japan, I stay

in the same kind of environment. I've

never seen this side of Japan before, so

It's really new to me. It doesn't feel

like it's Japan. It's not like the Japan

that I know. When you're in Tokyo or in a

large city in Japan, there's so many tall

buildings all around you. You just feel

surrounded all the time, and it feels kind

of claustrophobic. But here it feels like

everything's so open. There's mountains

everywhere. You can see all around you for

miles, and it feels really refreshing.

Also, it was my first time riding a car.

In Japan on the motorway, which was quite

interesting. It's pretty similar to

England because Japan also drives on the

left side of the road, same as England.

There's so many people in my comment

section who tell me things like, you need

to grow up, you need to become a mature

adult, you're so immature for your age.

For me, there's nothing in the world more

boring than a super serious, uptight

person I just feel like, why do you want

to be so serious? Why don't you just relax

a bit and have some fun? It seems like

people who are so obsessed with being

serious and mature all the time, it's like

they're just making life boring. Why do

you want to make life boring? I just feel

like maturity is overrated. If you want to

be that kind of mature, serious person,

then that's fine. Go ahead and be that

kind of person, but Don't tell me what

kind of person I should be. I can make

that decision by myself, thanks. It always

makes me laugh reading those comments left

by super serious people saying things

like, you shouldn't be doing that, you

should be doing this, you need to stop

making these terrible life decisions,

you're just gonna make— you're just gonna

ruin your life even more. And I just don't

understand why these people even bother to

write these really long comments. You

should know by now I'm super stubborn and

I don't listen to anyone, and there's no

way I'm ever going to listen to people,

to random people on the internet. I'm not

going to let that affect the decisions I

make in my life. I guess what I'm trying

to say is I'm really glad I decided to

come here and that I decided to meet that

Japanese woman and her daughter. It wasn't

a bad experience at all. I had a lot of

fun. And I'm never going to grow up or

become mature. This is who I am. I'm 28

years old now. I'm not going to suddenly

change. This is my personality. If you

don't like my personality, or if my

decisions make you angry or upset, I

suggest that you stop watching my videos.

No one's forcing you to watch. So I

just find it kind of baffling why there's

so many people who don't like me or don't

like the decisions I make, but they

continue watching. It's kind of like a

person who really hates spicy food and

they keep eating curry even though they

know they don't like it. It just doesn't

make any sense. Obviously, I welcome

people watching my videos because it helps

grow the channel. So even if you're a

hater and you're just leaving negative

comments on my videos, it's helping me,

it's helping the channel grow. So I really

don't mind. It just, it kind of irritates

me sometimes to read these super negative

comments, and they don't really help

anything at all, really. They're just kind

of pointless. Anyway, I have to go and

meet my friend tomorrow, a different

friend, and I have to ride the Shinkansen,

the bullet train, for about 2 hours. So I

have to wake up pretty early tomorrow.

Good night.
